I also call these chorizo burgers as even my carnivorous husband enjoyed these commenting that they had a bit of chorizo flavour, all down to the smoked paprika of course.
Thumbs up from the kids as well.
Ingredients
1 tbs oil
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, finely grated
1 clove garlic chopped
225g smoked tofu
300g cooked chickpeas (1 can drained and rinsed)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tbs tomato puree
1 egg (optional but helps to keep them together)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C
Gently heat the oil in a pan, sauté the onion until soft
Add the carrot and garlic and cook for a further few minutes
Grate the tofu burger or break up with your fingers
Put the onion and mixture and tofu in a food processor along with the rest the ingredients
Pulse to a thick paste, I like to leave some coarse bits of tofu and chickpea for texture, and season with salt and pepper
Shape into patties and place on a well greased baking tray
Bake in the oven, turning over once for around 20 minutes until cooked through
You could also shallow fry if preferred
